Also the 2 car ferries John Curran and James Mcphail were sunk in Lake Huron after "supposedly" being hit by a water spout. Wrecks were located in the early 1980s by Stan Stock in 170ft of water 15 miles north of Port Austin.

The Orient Trader burned to a total loss in Toronto harbor in 1965 too.

The wreck of Jennifer seems to have been largely overlooked over the years. I actually came across it accidentally several years ago while doing some unrelated research.

Do the tramp steamers Leafield, Monkshaven, Theano, Bannockburn, and Wexford count? Also what about the St. Lawrence system?

I believe the Ann Arbor No. 1 was salvaged and converted into a barge after burning at the slip in Manitowoc.
